You should buy the apexi power fc your ems. Your engine most likely has a bad coolant seal, which does call for a rebuild. You should read the faq section, there is tons of great info. Good luck with the car

Yep, coolant leaking is probably shot coolant seals (no "block" per say in a Rotary engine..it looks more like a pineapple, sliced into pieces), and that means it's time for a rebuild. I'm sure the Texas guys will chime in and help you find a reputable shop near you, if Rotary Performance doesnt work out.

Original Gangster/Rotary!

www.GothamRacing.com out in Fort Worth is a semi-local option as well if the motor ends up needing to be rebuilt/upgraded.

I'm sorry wha?
Nice 350 Cap'n Caps...everyone has to admit, the 350 is a menacing looking car being as bulgy as it is. Maybe not Cap'n Caps' Aqua colored one but it is still clean and respectable none the less. As far as the fortune kit goes...yeah...there are about 3 better ones out there...FEED, Amameiya and BURNOUT. Take a look at those first before you slap on that big ol fortune madness. By the soudns of it you have a good amoutn of cash. In my opinion you might wanna pick up some ceramic apex seals, and the rotary aviation water seals.
